I chose MOTU Villas for our first visit to the Cook Islands and our stay was beautiful. Despite the wet and windy weather, our private boutique accommodation was perfect. All the staff were helpful and friendly. MOTU offered many generous goodies, such as, breakfast provisions, cheese, dip and crackers, and alcohol on arrival. All complimentary. On Sundays you are treated pastries. We were also gifted branded water bottles and a gorgeous MOTU shopping bag. MOTU is stunningly located beachfront and has a fantastic supermarket with ATM and petrol across the road. A special shout out to Mii and lovely Claire. Thank you for your warm welcome. MOTU is highly recommended.

We had six fabulous nights at this adults only retreat. The room are very well equipped and spotlessly clean, the staff are friendly and sensitive, the grounds and beach are pristine. There is a small supermarket across the road and it is possible to cook some meals as there is a microwave, 2 burner hob and large fridge. The food surprise on arrival is amazing!

We had a wonderful stay. The beach was great. Able to snorkel, swim and kayak at our leisure. The pool was perfect for keeping cool and chatting with friends. Drinks were easily available with an honour system at the outside bar. We took the e-bikes out for a run around the island. Staff and owners were very helpful and friendly. A new convenience store across the road supplies food and drinks. Lovely eating places are within walking distance.
